Two cool projects for your old CDs and packaging {DIY Life}
Aug 24th 2007 7:12PM If you have a garden, you can hang them up and keep birds from eating your fruit and veggies. When they shimmer in the sun, birds get freaked out, and run. It's like a 21st century scarecrow.
Netflix hire reveals "Internet TV" division: downloads coming to living room {Engadget}
Apr 16th 2007 12:38PM I remember way back when, Netflix tried this gambit and the movie companies shut them down quick. Now that Amazon has gotten onto Tivos, Netflix should really have no problem with this. Let's hope Tivo did NOT sign an exclusive deal with Amazon. If they did, let's hope that it only lasts a few months and Netflix can get in there quick.
Carbonite's kick-ass backup solution {Download Squad}
Nov 3rd 2006 9:49AM Another point against Carbonite:
You must pay for a subscription for EACH COMPUTER that you own. So if you want to backup from 3 or 4 PCs, that's 3 or 4 separate subscriptions. Ouch.
Carbonite's kick-ass backup solution {Download Squad}
Nov 2nd 2006 2:35PM Data Deposit Box seems to be overpriced when compared to Carbonite. I mean you can write a client for Amazon's s3 service and have 20cents per gigabyte per upload then just 15 cents per gig per month (that's compared to 10 bucks @ DDB). I have been hestitant however to sign up for Carbonite because of concerns listed already here (they hold the key and cannot backup USB drives), but it looks like they're workin on these additional issues so I'm closer to pulling the trigger on a 2 year plan with Carbonite.
Another concern: how long are they going to be around?
Anyway, my plan is to build my own redundant storage server (something like a RAID 5) with some cheap software but eventually adding something like Carbonite for cloud backup.
